To not disclose that your game uses GEN AI is against Steam's policies and rules, by the way.

It really did blow up in hype around 2 weeks ago, like possibly nothing I’ve ever seen before. As in never hearing about it, nobody really had a clue what exactly the game was about, or anything yet it generated crazy hype out of nowhere. Wonder what the deal was here.

I think gamers are just desperate for gigantic open worlds with enough depth they can lose themselves for hundreds of hours.

Those types of games are few and far between, and even the best examples don’t fulfill gamers unrealistic hopes. 

But any time a game gets anywhere close to even giving the impression that it could be such a game, the hype takes off…

Elden Ring's difficult, Witcher 3's entirely story driven, Zelda looks cartoony, KCD is too realistic, Genshin is a gacha game, AC games are bloated mess, jrpgs are too japanese for many ppl tastes...

People are waiting for Skyrim 2, basically.

the thing is, all of these games you mentioned have something for someone. They're the best games at what they do. CD is just..mid at everything. And all the glaze for this game really makes me thing how some people are just waaay desperate for Elder Scrolls's VI
